Doris Day

Day Time on the Radio is a compilation drawn from the 1952-1953 radio program of the legendary Doris Day.  Before the actress/singer had a television show of the same name in the 1960s, she headlined The Doris Day Show on CBS radio for about a year and around 60 episodes.  Part of its purpose was to help promote her films at the time and the show regularly featured duets with her co-stars.  These duets are the focus of this CD and make up 27 of the 32 tracks.  You'll hear Day sing with Gordon McRae, Kirk Douglas, Howard Keel, Tony Martin, George Murphy and even composer Frank Loesser (Guys and Dolls) and future President Ronald Reagan.  This is the first authorized release from Day's radio program and is a great way to celebrate her recent 95th birthday.  It features Joe Marchese's new liner notes!
